The 2013 season

2013 was an challenge for the Tigers. We had been promoted to Division 2 of the Manchester Softball League after a successful 2012 season, but how would we cope at a higher level ? We had also decided to set up a second team,(the Wildcats) would we actually be able to recruit enough players ? and even if we did how would they do ?

In the event we needn't have worried. The Tigers secured their survival in Division 2 before the the season was half way through and the Wildcats finished second in the 4th Division and secured a well merited promotion to Division 3. We did struggle for players at times over the summer but we did fulfill every fixture and have a solid core of players in place for 2014.

In tournament play we performed creditably at the Manchester and Leeds tournaments, and were runners up in our own "Red Rose" tournament. The Wildcats also had a successful run in the MSL 3rd and 4th Division cup,getting to the semi finals and eventually finishing in 3rd place.
